The Senate has 47 Republicans, 51 Democrats, and 2 Independents, who caucus with the Democrats. The average age of Members of the House at the beginning of the 112 th Congress was 56.7 years; and of Senators, 62.2 years. The overwhelming majority of Members have a college education. The dominant professions of Members are public service/politics, business, and law. Protestants collectively constitute the majority religious affiliation of Members. Roman Catholics account for the largest single religious denomination, and numerous other affiliations are represented. The average length of service for Representatives at the beginning of the 112 th Congress was 9.8 years (4.9 terms); for Senators, 11.4 years (1.9 terms). Ninety-one women serve in the 112 th Congress: 74 in the House, including 3 Delegates, and 17 in the Senate.

Congressional Research Service

4 C ongress is composed of 541 individuals from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. 1 This count assumes that no seat is temporarily vacant. 2 Since 1789, 12,013 individuals have served in Congress: 3 10,737 in the House and 1,930 in the Senate. 4 Six hundred and fifty-four of these Members have served in both chambers. These numbers do not include the additional 213 nonvoting Delegates and Resident Commissioners who have served in the House. The following is a profile of the 112 th Congress ( ). 5 Party Breakdown In the 112 th Congress, the current party alignments are 241 Republicans in the House of Representatives, 198 Democrats (including 5 Delegates and the Resident Commissioner), and 2 vacant seats. The Senate has 51 Democrats; 2 Independents, who caucus with the Democrats; and 47 Republicans. Age The average age of Members of the 112 th Congress, although lower than that of the previous Congress, is among the highest of any Congress in recent U.S. history. 6 The average age of Senators at the beginning of the 112 th Congress was 62.2 years. This is approximately nine-tenths of a year lower than that of the 111 th Congress (63.1 years) but half a year higher than that of Senators in the 110 th Congress (61.7 years). 1 This figure includes 100 Senators, 435 Representatives, 5 delegates (from the District of Columbia, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands), and 1 Resident Commissioner from Puerto Rico. 2 Currently, there are two House vacancies and no Senate vacancies.

5 At the beginning of the 112 th Congress, the average age of Members of the House, excluding Delegates and the Resident Commissioner, was 56.7 years. This is half a year lower than that of Representatives in the 111 th Congress (57.2 years), but four-fifths of a year higher than that of Representatives in the 110 th Congress (55.9 years). At the beginning of the 112 th Congress, the average age of new Members of the House, including a Delegate and the Resident Commissioner, was 48.2 years, 1.6 years lower that that of new Members at the beginning of the 111 th Congress. The average age of new Senators was 52.1 years, 5 years lower than that of new Senators at the beginning of the 111 th Congress. The U.S. Constitution requires Representatives to be at least 25 years old when they take office. The youngest Representative, as well as youngest Member of Congress, is 29-year-old Aaron Schock (R-IL), born May 28, The oldest Representative, as well as the oldest current Member of Congress, is Ralph Hall (R-TX), 87, born May 3, Senators must be at least 30 years old when they take office. The oldest Senator is Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), 87, born January 23, The youngest Senator is 39-year-old Mike Lee (R-UT), born June 4, Occupations According to CQ Today, in the 112 th Congress, law is the dominantly declared profession of Senators, followed by public service/politics, then business; for Representatives, business is first, followed by public service/politics, then law. 8 A closer look at the prior occupations of Members of the House and Senate at the beginning of the 112 th Congress, as listed in their CQ Roll Call Member Profiles, also shows the following: 9 49 Senators have previous House service; 81 educators, employed as teachers, professors, instructors, fundraisers, counselors, administrators, or coaches (68 in the House, 13 in the Senate); 2 medical doctors in the Senate, plus 1 veterinarian and 1 ophthalmologist; 15 medical doctors in the House (including one delegate), plus 2 dentists, 1 veterinarian, 1 ophthalmologist, and 1 psychiatrist; 10 7 Senator Lee is six days younger than fellow freshman Senator Marco Rubio (born May 28, 1971). 8 Demographics of the 112 th Congress CQ Today, vol. 46, special Guide to the New Congress issue, (November 4, 2010), pp In the overwhelming majority of previous Congresses, business has followed law as the dominant occupation of Members. However, at the beginning of the 112 th Congress, 209 Members (181 Representatives, 28 Senators) listed business in their CQ Roll Call Member Profiles, edging out the 208 Members (172 Representatives, 36 Senators) who listed public service/politics. Law was listed by 200 Members (148 Representatives, 52 Senators). In the 111 th Congress, 215 Members (182 Representatives, 33 Senators) listed their occupation as public service/politics, 203 Members (152 Representatives, 51 Senators) listed law, and 202 Members (175 Representatives, 27 Senators) listed business. Ninety-four (78 Representatives and 16 Senators) listed education as a profession. Members often list more than one profession when surveyed by CQ Roll Call. 9 CQ Roll Call Member Profiles, available on the CQ.com subscription database. The professions listed here are not exhaustive, and are not necessarily the ones practiced by Members immediately prior to entering Congress. Most Members list more than one profession in their CQ Roll Call Member Profiles. 10 For more details on medical professionals serving in the 112 th Congress, see Mike Mitka, Physicians in Congress, JAMA, vol. 304, no. 22 (December 2010), p Congressional Research Service 2
